Hey, the Royals are not only not the worst team in MLB, they are not even the worst team in the AL or even in their division , and they are almost as good as the Red Sox. This year is going better than I could have hoped for.

If ever there was a year this was damning with faint praise...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG. I just got a mass work email that nearly gave me a heart attack, because even though it was about legitimate important stuff, it totally didn't take into account MY STUFF. So I tried to send a not-too-testy email in response, and heard back really quickly that, in fact, they do have a plan that takes into account my stuff, and everything should be fine.

Now I need to get my heart rate back down.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I was considering joining a softball team in the theatre league this summer and then I realized that my brother is now living with a softball Olympian. I can't decide if that's a pro or a con.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow.

Six Living Generations of Daughters, From 7 Weeks to 111 Years

ABC News has reported on a family in Charlottesville, Virginia that boasts an amazing six living generations of daughters. The eldest is 111-year-old Mollie Wood (b. 1901) and the youngest is 7-week-old Braylin Higgins (b. 2012). Photographer and neighbor Christian DeBaun saw the opportunity to capture some amazing portraits of the family.

So the baby's great-great-great grandmother is still alive....

msbelle and others might appreciate these posts about how little kids don't know how to play board games properly: [link]

Six generations is bananas. Although my family could do it if my grandmother lived to 111! That grandmother already has an 18 year old great-granddaughter, and she's only like 85.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Except that he makes his tea WRONG.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have no idea what you are talking about. JUST THIS MORNING I had to explain why mac and I could not play board games unless there were other people playing with us. The child cannot take losing to me over and over again.

I've known grandmothers well under 40 (I think the record was 36), so you could be a 90-year old and have a daughter who's 72, a granddaughter of 54, great-granddaughter of 36, great-great granddaughter of 18, and a newborn.

Absolutely.
